Furosemide Tablets are a potent 'loop' diuretic used in the treatment of oedema resulting from cardiac insufficiency, hepatic or renal dysfunction, parasitism, or of a traumatic origin. They are most commonly used as part of the medical management of congestive heart failure and other conditions where the body is retaining too much fluid.
Furosemide Tablets are flat faced, white circular tablets with bevelled edges. They are scored with a half break line for accurate dosing.

Furosemide Tablets 40mg are indicated for the treatment of oedema associated with cardiac insufficiency, renal dysfunction, and trauma in cats and dogs.
Contra-indicationsDo not use in acute glomerular nephritis, in electrolyte diseases, in patients with anuria, or patients that have received excessive doses of cardiac glycosides. Because of the danger of potentiating their toxic effects do not use with aminoglycoside or cephalosporin antibiotics. Allergic reactions have been associated with use with sulphonamides.
Special WarningsThe patient may increase its water intake to compensate for the diuresis. Consideration should be given to restricting water intake if the patient's condition makes such a course appropriate.
Special PrecautionsSpecial precautions for use in animals:Prolonged dosage may on occasions justify potassium supplementation and thus monitoring for hypokalaemia should be considered, especially if the product is used in conjunction with cardiac glycosides.Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the medicinal product to animals:Wear gloves or wash hands immediately after handling tablets. In case of accidental ingestion seek medical attention and show product label and/or pack insert to the doctor.
Adverse ReactionsNone reported
Pregnancy and LactationThe safety of use in pregnancy is not well established and a careful assessment of the likely benefits and potential risks should be made. A deleterious effect on lactation is to be expected, particularly if drinking water is restricted. Furosemide passes into milk, but not to a great extent.
InteractionsPotential interactions with other drugs include ototoxicity with aminoglycosides and nephrotoxicity with cephalosporins. Use in combination with sulphonamide treatment may lead to sulphonamide allergy. There is a possibility of interaction with cardiac glycosides.
Amounts to be Administered and Administration Route5mg/KgBW, one or two times per day. For patients weighing less than 8Kg dosage with the 20mg tablet (which may be halved) is recommended. Avoid overdosage in weak and old patients.
OverdoseDehydration and electrolyte depletion may occur. Monitor and correct, as necessary. Dosage higher than that which is recommended, may cause transitory deafness. Cardiovascular side effects may be observed in weak and old patients following overdose.
Withdrawal PeriodsNone for these species.

Hey everyone, I have been experiencing a sensitivity to blood sugar levels and it's not something I would ever expect. I just started taking Furosemide 2mg/ml (the standard dose for diabetes), and the side effects of this were mild. My blood sugar reading was normal and it was within the normal range (below 100/50). I was wondering if anyone here has had experience with this type of medication or has tried this and what difference it makes. I've been diagnosed with hypothyroidism due to not being able to tolerate the medication, but I feel like the side effects are pretty severe, like when you start to feel a tingling feeling in your extremity or neck. If this is the case, I would suggest doing some tests to get a baseline blood test, and possibly adjusting the dose or switching to lower the dose if needed. I also want to make sure I understand the difference between hypo and hypotension and how to deal with it. I do want to make sure that if I find something that feels more like the "normal" for me, I know it's not the medication that's causing my problems, and I have a few options. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Hey everyone! Ive been experiencing hypothyroidism for quite some time. I started taking the medication just a few days ago, and my blood sugar is high, so that makes me feel tired. I'm wondering if anyone has had experience with this type of medication or has tried this and what it does. The best way to find out is to go to your nearest doctor and get a blood test, and if you experience any side effects, then I would be happy to talk to them as they can help! If anyone else has any experience with this, please share!
Hey everyone, I just wanted to share my experience on Hangover and Hypothyroidism (which is a term for an imbalance of hormones, which is a common symptom in hypothyroidism). I have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism for over a year now, and it's been a game changer for me. I'm also currently taking a blood sugar check to check my blood sugar levels. I am on 1/3 of the Furosemide dose, and feel like I'm getting more energy in my system than I did before. My blood sugar is actually low, but it's not as bad as it used to be. I don't get hot flashes, my liver doesn't get up in the morning, or any other side effects, or anything else I've had the last couple of weeks. I have had no side effects while taking this medication, and I'm still getting my levels checked to make sure I don't have any negative interactions with other medications I've been taking. It's been a game changer for me, and I've been trying to get this to work with my GP, but it hasn't been easy. I've tried everything to find what works for me, but nothing has worked either. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced similar issues and/or tried this and what their options are, but I haven't found anything that works for me.
I know some people say Hypothyroidism can cause side effects, but what is the difference between Hypotension and Hypothyroidism? I have heard the term "hypothyroidism" comes up a lot, but I have not had any experience with it, and I don't know of any studies or articles that describe it as a specific type of medication. I know the names of some of the names on this thread, and it has been on a couple different threads. I've heard that hypothyroidism may be the result of an imbalance of hormones, or something else, and it's not a common term. I've heard that it can be caused by stress, and stress has been a common symptom of hypothyroidism, and is something that needs to be addressed. I have no idea what to do about this, but I'm pretty sure I can work it out. Thanks!
I have been on 1/3 of the Furosemide dose for my thyroid. I'm currently taking 500mg and it has been fine.
